Confessions from the Darkside - UPDATE

I can't believe how much 1010tire has taken advantage of the availability of this Michelin Alpin tire, and increase the price that much.

Wonder when Tire Rack will have them in stock again.

Attachment 20701

If I am not mistaken, they are no longer made.

Who knows for sure. You are probably right though.

Davidk,

My first Michelin Primacy Alpin I ran at 41 psi and it only lasted 27,850 miles. The sides had good tread but the center was down to the wear bars. I now have 6,000 miles my second Alpin and running 32psi the wear is even across the tire.

I'm very pleased with the performance and handling. I picked up a screw on a trip last year and it seemed to be a good bit harder to get a plug into this tire.

Happy riding on your Alpin.

Only 27,850. Boy , we are suffering now. Four times the mileage for the same money. Not bad.

I wish a US dealer still had stock. 60 dollars shipping from 1010---that's high, imo. And with this tire being discontinued, I'm wondering what the date codes are on their stock. I might just wait for the next greatest zp tire.

Shipping was $15 for the tire for me from 1010tires. My tire's date showed it to be 1 year old.

Thanks, Dave for the info. The 60 dollars showed when I put in my west of Chicago zip code under the "estimate shipping" box

. Maybe I'll try it again and see what the final shipping cost is.

I'm surprised at the low miles you get on these car tires. I got 24k on my Dunlop 3 MC tires, front and rear. I was expecting to hear numbers in the area of 50k miles for the car tires.

Was that mileage on your Harley or F6B?
